If the Red Wings could stop giving teams 5-on-3 power play goals they’d be a force to be reckoned with. Mike Babcock said they have give up 5 such goals this season, which would be a season’s worth - but we’re only 1/8th of the way through the season. Last night the team […]
Well at least not during the regular season. Detroit ranks near the basement in goals against in the Western Conference [Dallas is dead-last, with Marty Turco boasting an NHL low 4.26 GAA], but leads the conference in points due to leading the entire league in goals scored.

Some quick thoughts:
~Mathieu who? Mathieu Schneider moving on to Anaheim gave the Red Wings the opportunity to sign Brian Rafalski. After a short period of getting acquainted with his new team early last season the defenseman has been brilliant. He just set a franchise record for consecutive games with at least a […]
The Wings will play St. Louis in a battle for first place in the division. Fortunately the game is on the road as the Wings haven’t exactly been impressive on home ice at the Joe.
They are 2-0 on the road and have allowed an average of 1.5 goals against in road contests. The […]
Yahoo sports has a good article on Niklas Kronwall’s spotty performance as his minutes have increased. The goal is to limit the amount of time Nick Lidstrom spends on the ice each night. For that to happen Kronwall is going to play more minutes and play tougher competition night in and night out. […]
It looks like Henrik Zetterberg might miss tonight’s game with a wonky groin. He left practice yesterday and unless Emma worked her magic last night Z might not be able to practice today. Bruce MacLeod always provides updates from practice so you can check out his Red Wings Corner blog to see if […]
Detroit has won two-straight to join a three-way logjam atop the Central division. Nick Lidstrom potted a goal last night and leading goal-scorer Tomas Holmstrom potted the game-winner.
Mule has pretty much picked up where he left off with four very high-quality scoring chances that he converted into two goals. Ty Conklin was superb […]
Mike Babcock complained about the team’s level of play during the preseason and the team looked pretty bad in their opening-night 3-2 loss to Toronto. Here’s about the only thing worth watching from that game:
You hear the number 19 associated with a game against the Leafs and - since the number’s retired - you […]
NOW
I’ll have more after tonight’s season-opener.
Let’s go Red Wings.
